It's one thing for the Times to get an architect's first name wrong, as it did in a July 4 dispatch reporting on the building activities of developer Sheldon Solow. Yet when the Times's own former architecture critic, Paul Goldberger, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his work at the Times, publicly calls the paper out on Twitter: "The day after @nytimes writes about new Apple hq w/o mentioning its architect it calls Richard Meier 'Thomas Meier'" — it's another thing for the newspaper not to correct the apparent mistake, either online or in print. It's as if they're indifferent to getting it right, or as if the paper's copy editor layoffs and "work slowdown" are having severe effects.
